Great place for family

The communication was wonderful, location was ideal, clean, and enough parking. The only thing I would change is to switch out the beds in one or 2 rooms to king size beds.

Absolutely Adorable

This is the most darling house in a perfect neighborhood. It was safe and quiet, yet within minutes of everything Athens has to offer! Alex and Merideth were helpful before and during our visit. They ensured the house was clean, stocked with supplies, and ready for immediate relaxation. The delicious cookies and Pellegrino waiting for us made it all the better! Not to mention the incredibly cozy beds in every room. I recommend this spot to anyone looking for a home away from home. Our daughter lives in Athens, so we will definitely be back.

Perfect Athens Stay

We enjoyed a wonderful long weekend in Athens. The host’s home is the perfect location to all things Athens. From booking to arrival/departure communication was easy.

This is a great find in Athens. The house is spacious and clean. Our teenage girls loved having enough room to claim their own space. The location is convenient to everything that Athens has to offer.

Mer and I have been most happily married for 2 years. We enjoy traveling and experiencing new things. Mer is an artist, receiving an increasing amount of notoriety in NE Georgia - Check her out at meredithraifordart.com. The mountains are my 2nd love. I spend every free opportunity on the Ocoee River working as a raft guide or paddling for leisure.

Why they chose this property

Our cottage is situated perfectly in The Classic City. Downtown and Sanford Stadium are located less than 1 mile from our home. No matter the event, you are never more than a 15 minute drive from any point in town.

Further, our home is comfortable and clean. We believe you should be exploring Athens during the day. However, once you arrive home, you should be able to kick off your shoes and relax in pure comfort.
